Lest there be any doubt that Iran controls the Houthis (money, missiles, arms, advisors, etc.)(and despite the claims of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei)—don’t attack the U.S., keep attacking Israel was the direction.  “Two Iranian officials, one from the foreign ministry and the other from the Revolutionary Guards, said that Iran had persuaded the Houthis to stop their attacks on US assets as part of the Omani [nuclear program] mediation efforts, The New York Times reported. Oman later revealed it had mediated the ceasefire deal, according to which neither side will target the other, including US vessels in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait.”  See “Reports: Iran pressed Houthis into truce with US to build ‘momentum’ in nuclear talks,” Times of Israel, 5-7-25.
